Terrence Boyd is a German-born son of an American serviceman. A target forward, he came up in Hertha Berlin's system.

Boyd had a successful 2010-11 season with Hertha's reserves, scoring 13 goals. However, when his contract expired at the end of the season, he opted not to re-sign with the club, instead deciding to join Borussia Dortmund's reserve team.

Boyd's performance with Dortmund II was stellar all season, during which he scored 20 goals in 32 games.

The Bremen native was called up to the first team matchday squad in October 2011, but he did not get off the bench in a 5-0 thrashing of FC Köln.

Following the season, Boyd departed the club in search of first team playing time and signed a three year contract with Rapid Vienna. Boyd would score 37 goals in total during his time with the capital team.

In June 2014 it was announced that RB Leipzig completed the transfer for Boyd.

On January 24, 2017, Boyd signed with SV Darmstadt on a two-year deal.
